“The level of service that Matt provided for us during our search for our home in Cape Coral Fl. was above and beyond. Matt showed us multiple homes and was very honest and thorough explaining the upsides as well as the downsides of each property. When we narrowed our search down Matt quickly set up second showings so we could be sure in our decision. There was never any pressure to make a decision or purchase. We thought we were going to have to compromise on some things but Matt found us a home that checked every box and then negotiated a price that worked for us. We would highly recommend Matt Bonson to be your realtor.”

Columbia County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Columbia County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Columbia County is seeing a moderate level of for-sale housing, with 164 homes on the market and 63 new listings in March 2026. Inventory climbed 11.56% from the prior month, yet it is still down 14.58% compared with last year. Buyers have 4 months of supply to choose from, while 53 homes went under contract, a year-over-year drop of 15.87% in pending sales.
Pricing is adjusting to this shift in activity, with the typical home value at $325,000, down 5.52% from a year ago but up 10.17% month over month. The median list price of $399,900 in March ticked 2.8% higher than the previous month, and projections suggest it could edge up to about $405,350 in April as the projected typical home value moves toward $340,000.
Homes are taking longer to sell, spending a median of 69 days on the market, which is up 40.82% year over year and 9.52% month over month. Even so, Columbia County is still classified as a Seller's Market, with about 34% of homes selling above asking price and an average sale-to-list ratio very close to full price at 0.99. With local values just under the Wisconsin state typical value of $338,200, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced agent to guide their next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Learn more about what Columbia County has to offer.
Columbia County offers residents a balanced mix of outdoor recreation, strong local services, and a welcoming, close-knit community.
Columbia County stands apart from nearby Dane and Sauk counties with its quieter pace, expansive river views, and strong sense of small-town connection that still keeps you within easy reach of Madison. Communities like Portage, Columbus, Lodi, and Poynette offer distinct identities, whether you are drawn to historic downtowns or lakeside living near Lake Wisconsin.
Outdoor life is central here. Residents enjoy the Wisconsin River, the Columbia County Parks system and family time at Devil’s Lake State Park just across the county line. The MacKenzie Center provides trails and wildlife exhibits, while Lodi Women’s Library Club Public Library and Portage Public Library anchor community events and lifelong learning.
Local schools, including the Portage Community School District and Columbus School District, attract families who value smaller class sizes and active local involvement. Commuters appreciate access to Amtrak’s Columbus Station and regional highways, which open job and cultural opportunities in larger cities while allowing you to return to quieter neighborhoods at the end of the day.
With demand steady for waterfront properties, rural acreage, and in-town homes, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are planning to buy your first home in Columbia County or preparing to sell and move on, Agent Pronto connects you with a local real estate professional who can help you make smart, well-timed decisions.
